Apparatus and method for changing bucket wheels

A methodof refurbishing a bucket wheel reclaimer (BWR)having structural frame, a chutesupported by the structural frame, a yard conveyorfor receiving material from the chuteand an impact tablesupported by the structural framebelow a portion of an upper runof the yard conveyor. The method includes a stepof decoupling a current impact tablefrom the BWR structural frame. The impact tableis lowered at stepfrom the structural frame. Thereafter at stepthe current impact table is moved laterally away from and to one side of the yard conveyor. At stepsanda fresh impact table is moved laterally to a location beneath the upper runof the yard conveyor and coupled to the BWR
